7. 5. Hearing in menopausal women and in women with Turner syndrome : a model for hearing matured in an estrogen-deficient environment

   Författare :Christina Forshell Hederstierna; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Epidemiological studies have shown that women have better high-frequency hearing than men in virtually all age groups, regardless of noise-exposure, and that agerelated hearing decline starts after age 30 in men but not until after the age of 50 in women. This coincides with the menopausal transition in most women, thus leading us to hypothesize that the menopause triggers auditory deterioration. LÄS MER
